Frank Hanlyvho bad niade three demands for hg resignation , David E. Sherrick , Stato Auditor of In diana , resigned his position , not , how ever , until the Governor , after having called for his resignation three times , had declared the office vacant. On a war rant issued by tho State prosecutor Shex- rlckwaa arrested on a charge of embez zlement. The affidavit on which tho warrant is basod charges that Sherrick has embezzled the fuudj of the State to the amount of $145,000. The Governor immediately appointed Warren Bigler of Wabash , as Auditor , tho appointment to take effect tho moment the appointee could arrange for his bond. In ousting Mr. Sherrick from office , Gov. Hanly alleges that the Auditor had been guilty of "a plain and inexcusa ble violation of the law , and a gross be trayal of public trust" in investing and loaning funds belonging to the State to the amount of $145,000. The sum , the Governor alleges , was misused , having been invested in private affairs. Sherrick was booked at th police sta tion in Indianapolis , charged with em bezzlement of the State's funds. He waived examination and refused to talk concerning the case , referring all in quirers to his attorney. An Indianapolis dispatch says that in vestigation of the securities placed in the hands of the Governor tends to show that they are of sufficient value to pro tect the State , if taken with th ? $100- 000 bond of the American Surety "Com pany. The face value of these deposits , stocks , bonds , etc. , given to protect the State for the $143,197.80 due it , is $172- 708.34. of which about $83,000 represents Investments in various mining enterprises of a more or less speculative character. It is thought that the remainder , amount ing to about $90,000 , will be realized on fully. Of this amount $19,825 is oa de- ; posit at the Farmers and Merchants' Bank of Cicero , Ind. The notes given by tho .T. H. Murry Company , through W. S. Wickard , amounting to about $51,000 , will be paid in full , according to Mr. Wickard. Note * aggregating $18,500 , signed or indorsed by Eben H. Wolcott. former State Sena tor , are thought to be good for face value , making a total of about $90.000 lhat probably wiJl be turned into cash. In addition it is thought probable that some of the ruining stocks have an ac tual commercial value , so that , all told , the amount realized probably will be $100,000. HOMES FOR 45,000 PERSONS. Over 4,000 Buildings in Process of Con struction in Kew York. i Greater Xew York is now enjoying its greatest building boom. It is estimated that 4,204 buildings arc under way at a cost of $94,430,733. Most of the e structures are apartment houses and they will provide homes for 45.000 persons. ' The great work accomplished by th * army of builders from Jan. 1 to the present time , representing , as it does , the practical output of new homes for the jear , must therefore take care of the natural increase in the city's population. This increase has been figured conserva tively at loO.OOO person. In order to keep pace with this enormous growth in the population it will Uo seen that even though building records have gone to smash , the supply of homes can by no means be in excess of the 'demand when the general moving day of the year ar rives , some six months hence. With the constant march of the city's vast army of commercial enterprises northward in Manhattan it will be apparent that the supply of new homes must take care not only of the normal increase in popula- ' tioii , but of probably an equal or greater number of persons who were forced by this commercial movement to the north to seek homes farther away from the great business centers. This constant crowd ing out of the dwellers in the lower part of Manhattan is growing more and more aggressive. Each year sees the army of those dispossessed by tlie encroachment ( of business enterprises growing in mnn ber. i Just when Col.

GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD , Rheumatism and Other Blood Dis eases aro Cured by Dr. Williams' ; 1 Pink Pills. ! j "In the lead mines I was at work on ray kneesvith my elbows pressed against rock walls , in dampness and extremes of cold , " said Mr. J. G. Meukel , of 2975 Jackson avenue , Dubuque , Iowa , in de scribing his experience to a reporter , " and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles , knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause mo so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often 't obliged to lie in bed for several days at a ' time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw mouey away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates , of the Klauer Manufacturing Co. , of Dubuque , who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. "Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People , the ' remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills , I was much better aud in three mouths I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared , I could work steadily aud for eight years I have . had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. We consider them a household remedy that we are sure about. " I What Dr. Williams Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doiug for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins , puro , strong , rich , red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health. The new blood restores regularity , and braces all the organs for their special tasks.

The fame of George Washington as soldier and President has thrown into the shade the business end of his ca reer , and we have almost forgotten that he was Immensely clover at a horse trade. But for the Revolution ho would have made his mark in the transportation business. Of course he never thought of a railroad , but he suggested the Chesapeake & Ohio canal , and was tho first President of the company that undertook the pro ject. He also had his eye on tho Mo hawk Valley , nud would have dug the Erie canal if our ancestors had not required his services In the matter of casting off tho British yoke. CUTICURA PILLS.

The pain ting of Forth bridge Scotland , which is the largest in the world , lias given a company of about thirty-five men steady employment for the past eleven years. At the time the bridge was completed they began work at the southern end of the gigantic structure , but thrco years passed around before the northern end of the bridge was reached , although they labored every day except Sunday and times of se vere storms. At the close of the three years the southern end of the bridge began to show the effects of the weath er , and the work of repainting was be gun. Thus when.one coating was com pleted another was begun , ftnd at pres ent the structure is receiving its fourth coat. That the men can conve'nicntly get at the highest portions a system of ladders and elevators has been con structed. Near each elevator has been erected a house in which the paint is mixed. For painting the underside of the roadway wire ropes have been stretched , under which are suspended the painters' platforms. Owing to the thoroughness with which the work has been done no part of the bridge has yet shown any signs of decay. U. 8. SENATOR TOWNE Credits Doan's Kidney Pills with a Gratifying : Cure. Hon.

In the Middlesex fells somo good old colonial names are preserved , like Jin- glcbcrry hill and Chillyshnlly brook. Spot pond was named by Gov. Wiu- throp , who discovered it In tlw winter , because of the many rocks that showed through the ice and spotted the sur face. Powderhorn hill , in Chelsea , is said to have been bought of the In dians for a hornful of po\vder. The fact of misfortune to divers un known persons whether trivial or not does not appear finds a record in Bad Luck Mountain in Granville and Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may bo some association between Burncoat brook and pond in Leicester and Spen cer and Burnshirt River , likewise in AVorcester County. Driukwater River Is a felicitous name for a stream of good water. It is in Hanover , and possibly there may have been a family of that name in the neighborhood. Strong Water brook in Tewksbury has quite different associa tions. Sought For pond , in Westford , suggests a long and balHed quest for the spot through the wilderness in the olden days. One of the least euphon ious of names is Skug River in Essex and Middlesex Counties. It is worthy a place among such English names as Wormwood Scrubs , a park in London. > A legend about the names of tho group of islands on the south coast presents an instance of how fancied resemblance gives rise to stories. It is related that these islands once belong ed to a man with four daughters. To ' Nancy , the eldest , the father gave the ( first choice , and the fact that "Nan- ' took-it" is recorded in the name NanJ J tucket , the island she selected. Nan- | tucket , of course , is in reality an In ' dian name. Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands went to Martha , and Elizabeth respectively , while the fourth daughter , whose name has been lost to memory , there was nothing left } but the most remote aud undesirable ' of the group , which was called No Man's Land , because its owner was a , woman. The Elizabeth Islands , in , fact , were named for Queen Elizabeth j by Bartholomew Gosnold , their discov- ' erer , whose name has been given to the . town that comprises them.
